HAIn-MARc'ELINe DEVICE.

application filed January 1e, 192e.v serial no. 81,679.

This invention relates particularly 'to a. hand tool for use in marceling the hair.

Itv is one object of the Vinvention toy providea device of they character indicated that will impart the desired wave to a large quantity of the hair at one application.

It is another object of the invention to provide a device of the character indicated that will effectually impart the desired double wave to the hair required in this form -of hair dressing.

It is also an object of the invention to pro'- vide a device of the character indicated that will be simple in construction, economical to manufacture, and highly etlicient in its practical application.

In the drawing Figure l is a plan view of a device embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same. Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3-8 of Figure l. Y Figure 4 is a transverse sectional vie through another embodiment of my invention. y

Referring more particularly to the drawing, I show at l a handle carrying an end portion 2 bent into a wave formation as indicated at 3, the-several portions of these lin any suitable manner as by rivets 5, the,

port-ions of the plate 4 on either side of the portion 2 being bent upwardly a distance as at A6, thence outwardly a distance'v as at '7 and again downwardly a distance as at 8 into the general form ofthe letter Nl.

At 9 is shown an upstanding element mounted on'ha-ndle a distance from the sheet metal portion 4, and on this element 9 -is pivotally mounted a second 4handle part l0. The handlek part l() as herein disclosed comprises two lhat bars riveted together as at 11 and passing on either side of the element 9 as-'shown7 the two bars 12-13 form' ing handle 10 separating a distance forwardly of the element 9 as shown at 14-15 respectively. These two parts are then bent forwardly again into parallel relation kto waves lying in a single plan-e and designed a covering 28.

each other ,as shown at Ylr6-17 and'A twisted as at -18-19 so that theirA forward portions The sidewalls G and 8 of these recesses preferably converge slightly toward the top to permit the proper manipulation of the hair therein.

In its practical application the device. is, of course, heated as desired and then the laterally undulating end portions 20-21 are inserted under a quant-ity of hair, the'handle l0 being held in the positionfshown in dotted lines. at 24 for this purpose. When the handles are brought together as shown in solid lines the hair supported on the parts .20-2l is pressed up and into the recesses .Q2-23 and tightly `held between the flat parts 20-21 and 7 7.'

It may be readily seen from the foregoing that in the one. o-peration the hair is given the desiredwave in the plane of the bodyk portion 4 and also given the desired wavy lformation in planes'at right angles thereto.

VlVhile this is, perhaps, thesimplest form of the invention, it may also be made with a hollow handle portion as indicatedat 25 in Figure 4 to accommodate wires as 26' for heating the coil 27.Y The lelectrically heated coil 27 is arranged on the outer surface of the sheet metal portionk 4 and enclosed in It is to be understood, of course, that while YI have herein shown and described but 'two specific embodiments -of my invention.

changes in form, construction and method of operation may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

I claim l.. A device of the character described. comprising a handle, a sheet metal body having laterally undulating undulations formed therein and having itsv central portion mounted on said handle, the said body portion be ing bent upwardly a dist-ance on each side being bent upwardly a distance on each side oi" said handle, thence outwardlyT a distance, and thence downwardly a distance to form lint lmtltolned grooves, an npstnnding bracket mounted on Said handle a distance from the said body portionj and a second handle pvotally nlounted on said b 'acket and comprising :t pair of flat bars secured together throughout the major portion of their lengths bnt separated and twisted at one end to forni prongs adapted to engage the flat bottomed grooves in said body portion.
